Introduing Program Mode, a powerful, spreadsheet-style interface that lets you create, edit, and analyze program data in sync with your model. Whether you're setting up a program from scratch or working from a client’s RFP, Tables help you go from brief to blocks in minutes.

Key Capabilities

1. Bi-directional Canvas Sync

• Edit values in Tables and see instant updates on the design canvas — including area, room count, storey, and geometry.
• Select any space on canvas and it’ll highlight the row in Tables, and vice versa.

2. Familiar Spreadsheet Experience

• Tables behave like Excel or Google Sheets — intuitive for architects and planners used to working in spreadsheets.
• Two viewing modes: Compact (for quick edits) and Detailed (for full control).

3. Direct Space Creation

• Input just 3 values — Space Label, Net Area per Room (Target), and Room Count — and Snaptrude auto-creates spaces on the canvas.

4. Department-Level Summaries

• See efficiency, gross area, and differences between target vs. achieved areas — broken down by space and department.

5. Easy Data Import

• Copy-paste from Excel or CSV to create entire programs quickly.
• Updated CSV template supports expanded fields; backward-compatible with older formats.

6. Custom Calculations + Export

• Use a secondary sheet to run your own formulas and metrics.
• Export to .xlsx or .pdf for documentation or review.

7. Compare Across Projects

• Pull in program data from other projects for reference or benchmarking. Imported data is read-only.

This is a foundational step in making Snaptrude the most data-aware spatial planning tool out there.
